HTC Math for HS Credit

Math for High School Credit

Instructor: Kevin Heyde

Hillyard Technical Center offers 1/2 credit in math to students attending HTC from outside the St. Joseph School District who complete 1 - three hour career and technical education program and specific additional academic criteria. Students who complete a second 3 hour CTE program in the same field may earn an additional 1/2 math credit. Students from the St. Joseph School District are ineligible to apply for this credit. Enrollment in this course must be done through the high school counselor. Students should not rely solely on this credit to meet graduation requirements.

This math course is delivered online through the Aleks learning system. Students are required to take both a pre and post test. They are required to meet weekly time and topic commitments and maintain a pre-determined percent weekly progress in their course. Internet access from home is encouraged but not required. Students will be given time at HTC to complete this course of study, if internet access is not available at home or during their regular school day.

We are able to offer several courses through the Aleks program. To learn more about this online math program, click here. All enrollment for this class must be done through the high school counselor. All counselors MUST contact Jill Huntsman, Director, to enroll students in this class.
